The bridge, from which this area takes its name, once located near the Tianqiao Department Store, is long gone. Its white marble slabs and carved balustrades were used to span the famous Dragon Beard Ditch (Longxugou). Ming and Qing emperors had to cross it on their way to the Temple of Heaven, thus giving the bridge its name.

More than 600 years ago in the Yuan Dynasty a high stone bridge was built across the river here. To the west was a wall around the Altar to the God of Agriculture, nearby a pavilion. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the river which had been filled in during the Ming Dynasty was redredged and rows of willows planted along its banks. The river was filled with red lotuses to create a landscape reminiscent of southern China. As the number of visitors to the district increased, so did the number of shops that served them, and before long the area north of the bridge became known for its wine shops and teahouses.


Emperor Guangxu had the river filled in when the road running between Zhengyangmen Gate and

Yongdingmen Gate (Gate of Eternal Stability) was built. The bridge was demolished and the stone balusters later removed when the road was widened. From then on, only the name remained.


It was after the Revolution of 1911 that the Tianqiao area developed into a market. In1913, the Northern Warlord government demolished Lotus Lane Market outside Zhengyangmen Gate and shopkeepers set up seven alleys in the area around the former Bridge of Heaven. There were shops specializing in imported goods and watches, establishments of astrologers and fortune ?tellers, story–tellers and variety shows, seconds–hand clothing shops and teahouses where men practiced martial arts. Small theaters proliferated; the most famous of them, such as the Dangui (Orange Osmanthus), Tianle (Heavenly Happiness) and Xiaotaoyuan (Small Peach Garden) remained open for decades. A popular attraction at the Bridge of Heaven was the “Eight Great Strange Performers,?whose colorful stage names were: Cloud Flyer (Yunlifei), Zhang with His Tube, Big Soldier Huang, Spotted Bear, Little Pigtail Wang, Big Tin Teapot, the Sponge, and Big Gold Teeth.
